Paul Hewitt received a commitment on Sunday from 6-foot-8,
225-pound senior big man Erik Copes (Scout.com, No. 57), who was
released from his letter-of-intent with George Washington and is
eligible to play this season.

Paul Hewitt will replace Jim Larranaga at George Mason. Hewitt, who
was let go at Georgia Tech in March, interviewed for the job
earlier in the week and verbally accepted the offer on Saturday,
multiple industry sources told FOXSports.com.
